[jira] [Commented] (RNG-19) System generator (/dev/random)

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/RNG-19?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=15522910#comment-15522910 ] 

Gilles commented on RNG-19:
---------------------------

A priori, this feature falls out of scope of Commons RNG (but could be considered appropriate for the yet-to-be-created "Commons RNG Utils" component).

Should probably be discussed on the ML.

> Commons RNG could include a random number generator based on the output of /dev/random or /dev/urandom on Unix systems.
> Commons Crypto has an implementation that could be used as a starting point:
